Publication bans are hurting the national conversation

Feb 26, 2018
When news broke that Don MacIntyre appeared in court on sexual interference charges against a minor, media in Alberta were quick to jump on the story. The story was reported prominently by provincial and national outlets alike. It took its place amid dozens of similar allegations that were brought forward against high-profile political figures as part of the burgeoning national discourse around the #MeToo movement. MacIntyre, a member of the United Conservative Party (UCP) and member of the Alberta Provincial Legislature resigned his position in cabinet the day after he appeared in court and resigned his seat a few days later. Yet almost immediately, a justice of the peace issued a publication ban on reporting around the case, forcing media outlets to remove online versions of the story. Read more

Feb 08, 2018
In February 2011, the world was shocked by the news that CBS war correspondent Lara Logan was viciously attacked in Cairo’s Tahrir Square while covering the Egyptian revolution. But, as Logan discussed later in an interview with “60 Minutes,” her horrifying experience may not be so uncommon: What she called a “code of silence” exists surrounding sexual assault on female journalists, something she said “all of us have experienced and never talk about. But those who experience such attacks rarely report them, citing professional and cultural stigma as discouraging factors.   Read more
